Thank you so much for your assistance with my thesis statement and topic for my persuasive essay.
Now, can you tell me if I have answered theses two questions correctly pertaining to my thesis statement " solving our economic problems of fear and destruction that have been created through gang violence and drug trafficking is more challenging than society can imagine".
Question # 1. Identify the different types of statistics, graphs, and illustrations that are appropriate for your topic.
Answer : I believe the type of visual most appropriate for my topic is a figure that will provide information showing the amount of money that is spent on illegal drugs each year during a five year period .
Question # 2. Where specifically do these visuals fit most effectively into your paper? In other words, what arguments/counterarguments will each visual accompany? Explain how these visuals strengthen your arguments.
This visual will fit most effectively near the argument that directly represent the visual. This visual will strengthen my argument by allowing me to clearly present information and help capture my audience attention.

This visual will fit most effectively near the argument that directly represent the visual.<~~This needs to be made more specific. If you have an outline already written up, then you'll be able to state specifically the section in which you'll place the type of visual you named in #1 above. This visual will strengthen my argument by allowing me to clearly present information and help capture my audience attention.
In other words, what you've written is generally all right, but vague. You need more detail. Don't delete what you have written; simply, add the details to make your answers clearer.
Yes, your answers to both questions are correct!
For question #1, you correctly identified the type of visual that would be appropriate for your topic, which is a figure showing the amount of money spent on illegal drugs each year during a specific period. This type of statistic is indeed relevant to your thesis statement as it helps to highlight the economic impact of drug trafficking.
For question #2, you correctly mentioned that the visual should be placed near the argument that directly represents the data shown in the visual. This will ensure that the visual is presented in a logical and coherent manner. Additionally, you mentioned that the visual will strengthen your argument by providing clear information and capturing the audience's attention. This is a valid point as visuals can often make complex data more easily understandable and memorable for the audience.
Overall, your answers demonstrate a good understanding of how to incorporate visuals into your persuasive essay, and how they can strengthen your arguments. Well done!
